Action was picked up with Joan Bousman all in for 30,600 and Chadd Beatty calling to put her at risk.
Joan Bousman: 10♦10♣
Chadd Beatty: 8♠8♣
Bousman was ahead with her pocket 10s, but after the 10♥7♠6♦ flop it gave Beatty more outs despite Bousman flopping a set. However, Beatty could not improve after the 4♣ turn and J♠ river, and Bousman's set of tens were still best, to secure the double up.

Action picked up on the flop of J♥6♠7♣ in a hand between Alexis Owings on the button, the player in the small blind, and Peter Rook in the big blind.
With about 10,000 in the middle, the small blind led out for 7,000, Rook raised to 15,000, and Owings moved all in for 22,700, putting herself at risk. The small blind made the call, as did Rook.
The turn landed the K♣ and the small blind checked. Rook bet enough to put the small blind all in, who had roughly 30,000 behind. The small blind went into the tank, and eventually made the call once the clock was called on him.
Alexis Owings: Q♠Q♠
Small blind: A♠J♣
Peter Rook: 7♥6♥
The river brought the 3♣ and Rook's two pair, sevens and sixes earned him the double knockout and the sizable pot.

Action folded to Gregory Chill in middle position, and he limped in, before Dennis Angelov raised to 4,000 from the hijack. Once it folded back to Chill, he made the call.
Both players checked after the K♥6♠Q♣ flop.
After the 5♠ on the turn, Chill bet out 4,000, and Angelov raised to 11,000. Chill made the call to see a river.
The river was the J♦ and Chill led out for a bet of 17,000. After thinking over his decision, Angelov said " Guess two pair is no good?" and folded 6x5x face up, to give Chill the pot.
